I know i know.. I hate to do this, I hate the kind who do this.. but im doing it. Im in work and I cant look at loads of images as it'll kill my net quota (no joke) and I need the net for the programs I use and if that happens.. i'll get in a load of bother.

There's a guy in the UK selling meisters in 16x8 and 16x9 both ET20 but they are 4x114.3, so I could run 15mm hub adapters like before bringin them to around ET5/possibly a 0 if i go for 20's.. The 8 is fine for the front, the problem I have is the 16 part.

I used to roll on 14's.. then I got 15's and tbh I thought they were the 'right size' will 16's be too big do you think?.. I need some kind of inspiration or help here lads.
The dish is nice and they look sweet.. I need to quick or they will go though.

PICS!

This one somehow pulls off 17s so Im sure you can do 16s

cheers dude. As for convertors, If i go for 20mm ones I shouldnt need to cut my oem studs right?

 

[Opgedronken]

The studs are a bit larger than 20mm, maybe even 25.

16x7s....not low enough.........yet.

I have been waiting for this thread for a while, I LOVE 16's

 

[dliverance]

As long as its low enough 16's look fine.

Cheers man - Im not used to 16's. Always figured they would swamp an MX5. See how it goes haha. hillyb:

I got 25mm spacers and I still had to shave a little off the stock studs.

 

[minto]

Hmm... I wonder how a 16x8 -5 and 16x9 -5 would look then.......... might need to investigate.

 

[AngelsAndBombs]

You will need to cut your studs if you go lower than 20mm, unless your wheel has those pockets in back of it. If you cut the studs, might as well go with a 10-15mm adapter.

 

[Notes...]

My 1st set of wheels were 16x8 +15.. so with spacers ur offset will be good too just might need a roll and pull...

 

[Risingsun124]

Paulsk is on 16's and it looks sick! Good Job Minto! Can't wait to see it!

Very good point, I forgot to mention that my Kosei's didn't have the pockets between lug holes. Most wheels have them, therefore you should be okay.

Those are 16x8's et10 with a 10mm spacer on the back. I think I'm going to put 5mm spacers on the front as well!

Thats as best as I can do to show you the fitment. It rides fine no tram lining etc. The 16's on your car should look super cool but a lot of lows will help.
